No, I'm pretty sure that it would be a repairman's nightmare. You'd have to remove that heat sink just to put in a stick of ram, pull out a bad floppy, hard drive, power supply, and pretty much everything else in a pc case that isn't the size of a volkswagon.
It is a fanless heatsink, or so it says on the box. That fan in the fourth picture is just sitting on there and the second pic looks like some sort of rigging job using wire to hold the fan on there. Either way it'd be a pain to work on a PC that has this big thing in the way. I've seen some lots smaller that were a pain to work around.
A heatsink half the size of the motherboard? C'mon.
Not to mention that it weighs 1155g wtihout fan. It is so heavy it will pull your CPU Socket off the board unless you build some kind of supports for it.
Found a pic:
If you put a fan on it... go ahead and take the side of your case and kick a dent in it so that you can get it around the fan...then go ahead and cut a hole in the side of the case so it will have somewhere to draw air from.
Darn.. did I forget to put this last memory stick in?
